he was not "the one"

My boyfriend of nearly eight years, who in the third week of September talked about big diamonds and proposing before Christmas, broke up with me in a phone call the second week of October.  I will continue with this blog because I believe in love and have great hope for the future.  I could not let this time in my life pass without mentioning it here as it was a combination of my love of crafting along with pending nuptials that inspired me to create this site.

I found two crafty ex-boyfriend inspired etsy items - a Ex-boyfriend Voodoo Doll Pin Cushion and a You are Incredible Noncommittal jerk handmade card.

Even though this post is *not* about a wedding, it *is* about relationships and not all of them work out the way we plan.
